Poison in Spoiled Flour.

Considerable interest has lately been
manifested in a statement published by
NJ. Nillon. French chemist well known
for scientific research. that he has discov-
cred an alkaloid poison of pronounced
characteristics in decayed animal tissues.
This poison is quite powerful. a dose of
five centigrams being sufficient to kill a
dog. The interesting point i'll NJ. Villon S
researches is the fact that in his investi-
cations he applied tests to spoiled flour,
because of the likeness of the gluten to
animal fibrn. and in that way discovered
the poisonous alkaloid. Spoiled and de-
cayed flour has peculiar appearance and
foul, caustic pmgent, bitter flavor. 1t
tastes hot and singing. somewhat like
pepper, according to the stage of decom-
position. Dough made from it is also
bitter to the taste and offensive to smell,
and it crlimbles in hot water and affects
injuriously the stomach. Plaques have
been attributed to the use of decayed
flour, the great plague of 1902 in Rome
being cited as an instance. Wheat flour
spoils very easily, especially in the
months between March and August,
when fermentation sets in that goes on
through the succeeding months until the
spelling is complete. Boston Budget.

We once had the privilege of looking
at a number of rare coins and medals
The collection, the estimated value of
which was more than $4,000, was ar
ranged in a number of shallow drawers,
each fastened by a spring lock. Noticing
that the owner was careful to close one
drawer, and to be certain that it was
locked. before opening another, we ex-
pressed surprise.
"Ah!' he answered, 'you don't know
the immortality of collectors. There are
very few of them who regard the tenth
commandment, and many of them will
break the eighth in order to obtain a
coveted coin. Experience has made me
cautious. l don't distrust you. for you
are not a collector; but I've formed the
habit of shutting one drawer before open
ing another, and do it even when l am
alone.

A Team with Golden Horscshoes.

In the year 1866 a storekceper named

in what was known as the Woolshcd,
Victoria, was elected first member of par

the honor-uDique in the history of the
colony-of being driven in triumph from
the Woolshed into Beechworth in a gig
with tandem team, the leading horse of
which was shod with gold.
Just before the election an eccentric in
dividual, known as Tinker Brown, who
had made lot of money on the diggins,
suddenly purchased a circus, with tents,
horses, and wagons complete, and, COM
ing into Beechworth with his company,
he offered to drive the newly elected
member, and supply golden horseshoes
for the occasion. The Woolshed bosses,
who were greatly elated at the result of
the election. warmly took up Brown s
idea, and they resolved, in addition, to
present their member with a diamond
scarf pin.

LABOR.

The thinker must work and the worker must think,
For both 60 hand in hand
And the smithy's stroke and the drop Of ink
Make the Drawn and brain of the land.
Oh, you at your forge and you at your books,
BE both with your implements striving
To uplift from the dust the kingdom of man
To q higher and holier living.
For the man that tolls and the man that thinks
Must work now, shoulder to shoulder,
All labor is holy, if honest it be,
The world has grown wiser and older.
When we lift the man at the desk we lift
The laborer at the pillow.
When from measure of wrong we sft,
Two measures sifted somehow

The Books We Reud.

The American Bookseller contains list
of all the books published during the year
1886 for the general trade. and from an
examination thereof an excellent idea is
obtained of the popular taste in literature.
1t is a better index, in fact. to that taste
than the reports of the public libraries.
The latter give only the local demands in
various communities of a reasonably
select class. The publishers list includes
the whole demand and embraces the
literature of a large class which never
finds its way to the public libraries.
The list represents 435 publishers, which
is exclusive of the legal and medical pub
fishers, the subscription publishers and
the societies that publish their own trans
actions The works issued by these gen
eral publishers number 3,70S in book
form. in addition to which there ST. of

of the BIOS books shows that fiction is
represented by 1872: religion by Al; edu-
cation, $685. travels and description, 10:
history, 1913; biography. 10: poetry and
drama, l2,; art, IL and juveniles 514,
the remainder being miscellaneous and
new editions. An analysis of the libra
ries shows the taste of another class. the
class that revels in cheap literature The
LODI library" volumes are mostly re-
prints of the latest and best English
novels, some 800 volumes being devoted
to "blood and thunder" sensations. or

writers. In the entire list all but 90 are

portion Of the eye is fatiGued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever

by closing the eyes or gazing at far dis

strain is redness Of the rim of the eyelid,

LIST OF OBSTINATE WORDS.
A Few Words for which No True Rhyme
Has Yet Been Found.


Has Yet Been Found.
About this time of year many young
poets discover that the English language
does not lend itself very readily to rhym-
ing 1t contains a number of words for
which no true rhyme has yet been found,
such as silver chimney, window, spirit,
liquid. carpet. window and several others
less common.
Valentine writer's should procure list
of these obstinate words and thus save
themselves a great deal of trouble. Much
ingenuity has been expended in forcing
rhymes TO such words, and occasionally,
to the surprise of old rhymers, rhyme
is found to a word long supposed to be
rAymclcss.
Gcn. George p. Morris, author of
'N, co man, spare that tree" was long
persuaded that no word rhymed with his
name. until one evening, challenging the
company to produce a rhyme for it. the
late john Brougham instantly composed
the following stanza:
All hail to thee, thou gifted son,
The warrior poet Norris
It's seldom that we see in one
\ Cesar and Horace.
Amid the laughter that rewarded this
ef.usion. the poet protested in vain that
the rhyme was not absolutely perfect.
1t proved to be a good enough rhyme for
af.,r dinner.
For the word month no fair rhyme.
we believe. has yet been found. Some
rhymster unknown, however. discovered
a rhyme for it in a novel of Thackeray,
which he utilized thus;
Search the works of Thaclseray you'll find a
rhyme to month;
He tells of Phil Fogarty, of the fighting Onety-
oncth.
A little girl who ''lisped in numbers"
is said to have produced better rhyme
than this:
can get rhyme for month
can thay it now thed it wunth
Window has no fair rhyme. An ac-
complished rhymster knows no such
word as fail. and one of this class achieved
the following;
Bold Robin Hood, that Archer good,
Shot down fat buck and thin doe:
Rough storms withstood in thick greenwood,
Nor cared for door or window.
Carpet rhymes with no single word.
but some bold poet dared to evade the
difficulty thus:
Sweet made of the inn
It's surely no sin
To toast such n beautiful bar pet:
Believe me my dear,
Your feet would appear
At home on a nobeman's carpet
